About

I’m a podcast producer and editor with 25 years in audio, the last seven focused on podcast editing and production. I run long-form interview shows end to end, from dialogue editing and mixing through final delivery.

I’ve engineered award-winning shows for network clients including Nasdaq and HarperCollins and edit video with Final Cut Pro, focusing on clear dialogue, voice quality, and a collaborative, friendly approach with remote contributors.

"We started working with Tansy Aster Audio after nearly 200 episodes of our podcast.

His post production work makes the entire episode flow smoothly and we all sound as if we’re in the same room.” – Pam & Scott Harper | Co-hosts
